Equipment

  • Best when prepared in a large cast-iron skillet. Otherwise large saute pan and large baking dish.

Ingredients

  • 5 slices bacon, chopped
  • 3 TBLS Real Butter
  • 2 Shallots, minced or finely chopped
  • 2 lbs Brussel Sprouts, halved
  • 3/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Sharp White Cheddar
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Swiss Cheese
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large cast-iron skillet fry bacon, once cooked chop. Reserve bacon grease.
  • Add butter to the cast-iron skillet containing bacon grease, heat and melt.
  • Add cleaned and halved Brussel sprouts and minced shallots to the cast-iron skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and saute for 10-15 minutes. Stirring occasionally. (Note: I prefer to carmelize the sprouts and shallots. I will cook in small batches until all sprouts have been prepared and then add all back into the skillet to re-heat).
  • Remove from heat and slowly drizzle with heavy cream and top with the cheeses and bacon bits. Bake until cheese is bubbly, about 10-15 minutes.
  • The cheese should become a soft golden color. If not, place the cast-iron skillet under the broiler until desired golden color is acheived.
  • Remove, serve and enjoy!
  • To reheat any leftovers add a small amount of cream, top with cheese, and bake until heated and the cheese has melted and become bubbly.
